The vending machine business model is becoming more and more popular in today's market. Vending machines are operated automatically 24/7 for 365 days, so there will be inevitable problems during use and gradually wear out over time. Therefore, how to help the machine always operate smoothly, stably and durable? Let's find out the below notes when using the machine!

1. Tips to safely use vending machines

In the process of installing, moving or using the vending machine, we need to ensure the safety of both the power source as well as the problems when picking up the goods.

Power source: Vending machines use AC 220V/50Hz/15A power supply, when using air conditioners, it requires a power supply >15A.
Use the power cord: When unplugging the outlet, do not pull by pulling the cord but plug it into the plug. When moving the machine, pay attention to the power cord and make sure it is safe, do not use damaged or exposed plugs or power cords.
Use contact pins: you should use 3-pin plugs with contacts to avoid dangerous electrical leakage.
Do not arbitrarily disassemble the machine parts without the guidance of a technician.
To ensure safe picking, instruct customers to push the door with one hand and pick up the item with another hand. Children picking up goods need adult help.

2. Vending machine installation environment

In order to ensure the good and durable operation of the machine, the vending machine should be placed in a cool and stable environment:

Place the machine on firm, non-rough, non-slip surfaces.
It is recommended to place the machine in house or in a sheltered place, in a cool place, without direct sunlight.
Install the machine in a well-ventilated place, at least 20cm from the wall to ensure that the machine easily radiates heat and works better.
After installing the machine, do not plug it in immediately, but wait for about 30 minutes - 1 hour. If you need to operate the air conditioner, let it rest for 3-4 hours.

3. Vending machine maintenance 

In order to increase the life of the vending machine and keep it running smoothly, business owners need to have the proper and periodic machine's maintenance.

Money reader: is the most important part to help the machine detect and check money. Therefore, you need to regularly maintain it periodically to ensure the machine's stable operation. Please check carefully that there is no dirt on the surface of the money reader, wipe with a soft cloth to avoid friction.

Cleaning the storage tray: Clean the glass display compartment surfaces. Use wet cloth, cotton and detergent to clean. Then put the tray in as it was and close it.

Cleaning the evaporator: First, disconnect the power, use gloves and clean the dust in the machine compartment with a vacuum cleaner. Use detergent, non-metallic brush, gloves to clean and remove them, remove oxide and restore cooling function.
